Elisabeth Thomas + Rebecca Fitting

Elisabeth Thomas’s provocative debut, Catherine House, weaves together elements of a gothic love story and suspenseful mystery, with a twist of speculative fiction, to examine human connection, indoctrination, education, and identity. Hidden deep in the woods of rural Pennsylvania, Catherine House’s experimental curriculum, wildly selective admissions policy, and formidable endowment has produced some of the world’s best minds. But the school—in all its shabby splendor, hallowed history, advanced theories, and controlled decadence—may be hiding a dangerous agenda within a secretive, tightly knit group of students selected to study its most promising and mysterious curriculum. This devious, deliciously steamy page-turner is sure to leave readers breathless and introduces a spectacular new voice in fiction. Greenlight co-owner and head buyer Rebecca Fitting joins Thomas (virtually!) in conversation.
